(from Morrow County Independent June 28 1899)" From ATLAS at the Paulding County Library: Mark M. Burt, a leading citizen of Brown township, was born in Washington County, Penn, December 29, 1822, the son of Ebenezer and Sarah (Leonard) Burt, of Scotch lineage. He was the third in order of birth of ten children born to these parents, and received but a common education. He married Miss Elizabeth, the daughter of Reuben and Esther (McCleary) Emmick, of German origin, on the 7th of May, 1849. Their children are named Bethnel, Silas(deceased), Hiram, Theodore, Samantha (deceased), Melissa, wife of Frank Myers; Leah, wife of Richard Bates; Isaac (deceased), and Frank E. (deceased). The family are communicants of the United Brethren Church, while Mr. Burt belongs to the I. O. O. F. lodge, of Oakwood, which he joined in 1861. He is also a member of the G. A. R. post. September 10, 1863 Mr. Burt enlisted in the Ohio national guards, and went to the front as a member of Company H, One Hundred and Thirty-second regiment Ohio volunteer infantry. He was in the company which built the fortifications at Petersburg and Richmond, and was at Whitehouse landing. Returning home in 1864, he began farming. He had not many advantages for obtaining an education, though he worked hard for what he did receive. In 1861, he located in Paulding County, upon the land where he now resides, which is pleasantly located in Brown township. Mr. Burt signed the first ditch petition, and has been prominently identified with the improvements made in Brown township. His success in life has been due to his energy and hard work, and he is an expert and progressive agriculturist. Obit 1 Jun 1899: M. M.

His funeral occurred at the rsidence, a United Brethren minister from from Findlay officiated ... Mr. Burt was an Oddfellow ... Messrs.
